Haures/Flauros/Flavros/Hauras/Havres

Haures, also known by the variant names Flauros, Flavros, Hauras, and Havres, is a significant figure in demonological texts, particularly within the tradition of Goetia, as detailed in works like The Lesser Key of Solomon. He holds the rank of a Great Duke of Hell and commands a substantial number of demons, with figures varying between 36 and 20 legions depending on the source.

Powers and Attributes

Haures is primarily recognized for his capacity to provide truthful and accurate answers regarding a wide array of subjects, including divinity, the creation of the world, and the nature of fallen angels. However, this ability is conditional; Haures will only speak truthfully if he is first compelled to enter a magic triangle. Without this command, he is prone to lying, deceiving, and beguiling the conjurer. Beyond his divinatory prowess, Haures is also credited with the power to destroy the conjurer's enemies by burning them, and he can ensure that the conjurer is not subjected to any temptations from other spirits.

Appearance

The physical manifestation of Haures is consistently described with formidable attributes. He is commonly depicted as a humanoid leopard, distinguished by large, sharp claws. In some accounts, he possesses the ability to transform into a man, characterized by fiery eyes and a fearsome countenance, particularly when requested by the conjurer. This dual nature, combining bestial ferocity with human-like intelligence and power, underscores his formidable presence in occult lore.
